MI M-LOK Hand Guard for the Tavor

Midwest Industries (MI) just released a sneak peak at their upcoming M-LOK Hand Guard for the IWI Tavor. The images show a pre-production version of the hand guard so there may be some changes to the production model. It is basically very similar to their other Tavor hand guards with the exception of the M-LOK spec slots.

MI doesn’t usually keep you waiting for long after they release images of the pre-production product so these will likely be available soon.

UW Gear Considering Adding 500D Cordura Option

I am a fan of 500 Denier Cordura. In my experience, it is more than durable enough for my needs and it saves weight. UW Gear has been considering adding a 500D option to their line up for a long time now and I am glad to see them finally giving everyone a peek behind the curtain.

If they have enough interest to add the 500D option, the new rigs that result from the addition should be considerably lighter in weight. In addition to the weight savings that come from the lighter material, UW Gear has slimmed the harness where it meets the body of the rig for additional lightening.

If you are would like to see UW Gear add 500 Denier Cordura Nylon to their line as an option, let them know!

Seekins Precision just opened up pre-ordering for their upcoming SP10 .308 rifles and, on paper, they look to have a lot going for them.

The upper is built around Seekins Precision’s iRMT upper receiver which is a CNC machined upper with an integrated extension for mounting their 15″ SP3R free-float rail. It is a very rigid system. The heart of the upper is one of Seekins Precision 18″ stainless steel match barrels.

The lower is completely ambidextrous. It features a tuned trigger and a proprietary buffer setup that allows the use of a standard carbine extension. It comes with a Magpul STR stock and Ergo Deluxe Grip.

The SP10 is nearly ready to stretch its legs right out of the box. Check it out at Seekins Precision.

On Blade Bomb: The TOPS Knives EL PATRON XXX

The new EL PATRON XXX from Tops Knives represents a more utilitarian approach to the karambit. It features a drop point blade shape rather than the typical hooked shape. The drop point may give up some of the ripping/catching potential of a traditional karambit in reverse grip but makes the knife more useful in a hammer grip. The EL PATRON XXX was actually designed to sit well in the hand and be useful in a normal forward grip.

This is also the first knife to feature TOPS Knives’ new “Tactical Stone” coating. The coating is a medium brown in color with texturing that has a stone like appearance. It contrasts with deeply grooved, Black G10 handle slabs nicely.

The EL PATRON XXX is ground from 3/16″ 1095 steel. It has a 3 1/2″ blade with a 8 5/8″ overall length. It comes with a handmade Kydex sheath.

Check out the EL PATRON XXX at TOPS Knives.
